*#*  This  very  rare  work  contains  an  exceedingly  interesting  account  of  the 
famous  Mississippi  scheme  projected  by  the  celebrated  John  Law. 

«  M.  Du  Verney,  the  author,  besides  being  an  able  writer,  was  a  skilful  and 
successful  financier.  Having  associated  Voltaire  with  him  in  some  of  his  speculations, 
he  made  a  considerable  fortune  for  his  celebrated  friend.* — McCulloch. 

<  The  idea  of  the  possibility  of  multiplying  paper  money  to  almost  any  extent,  was 
the  real  foundation  of  what  is  called  the  Mississippi  scheme,  the  most  extravagant  pro- 
ject both  of  banking  and  stock-jobbing  that  perhaps  the  world  ever  saw.  The  diflFerent 
operations  of  this  scheme  are  explained  so  fully,  so  clearly,  and  with  so  much  order 
and  distinctness,  by  Mr.  Du  Verney,  in  his  Examination  of  the  Political  Reflections 
upon  Commerce  and  Finance  of  Mr.  Du  Tot,  that  I  shall  not  give  any  account  of 
them. »— Smith,  Wealth  of  Nations^  edit.  Oxford,  1869,  Vol.  I,/.  318.

<  Law  first  published  his  theory  in  a  tract,  called  Money  and  Trade  Considered, 
at  Edinburgh  in  1705.  He  was  the  son  of  a  goldsmith,  and  of  dissipated  habits,  but  of 
an  extremely  acute  intellect ;  and  up  to  a  certain  length,  his  views  are  sagacious  and 
correct— much  more  so,  indeed,  than  those  of  many  writers  of  the  present  day.  He 
begins  hy  many  very  sound  and  acute  remarks  on  the  value  of  commodities,  and  the 
causes  of  their  change  of  value.  He  describes  the  qualities  which  fitted  6"//7/r;- to  be 
used  as  money,  above  every  other  commodity.  He  points  out  with  much  detail  the 
fraud  ?in<\  inutility  of  tampering  with  the  currency.  Nothing  can  be  more  judicious 
and  sound  than  his  remarks  upon  credit--that  it  must  always  vary  in  proportion  to 
the  metallic  basis  it  is  built  upon  ;  and  up  to  this  point,  his  sagacity  and  penetration  are 
in  advance  of  the  doctrines  of  a  century  later. » — Macleod,  Elements  of  Politicat 
Economy,  p.  416-18.

***  «  Mun  may  be  considered  as  the  earliest  expositor  of  what  has  been  called  the 
Mercantile  System  ot  commercial  policy.* — McCulloch. 

«The  title  of  Mun's  book,  England'' s  Treasure^  etc.,  became  a  fundamental  maxim 
in  the  political  economy,  not  of  England  only,  but  of  all  other  commercial  countries.*

«  Mun's  book  was  received  as  the  gospel  of  finance  and  commercial  policy  ;  and

of  the  rest  of  Europe.* — Edinburgh  Review,  April,  1847.

**♦  <The  great  value  of  Lord  Overstone  writings,  both  in  a  scientific  and  prac- 
tical point  of  view,  has  been  often  acknowledged  by  the  highest  authorities,  and  is  too 
obvious  to  be  questioned  by  any  one  entitled  to  form  an  opinion  upon  the  interesting 
subjects  of  which  they  treat.  Owing,  however,  to  their  having  been  published  at  very 
different  times,  and  in  very  different  ways,  in  Pamphlets,  in  Letters  to  the  Editor  of 
The  Times,  and  as  Evidence  before  Parliamentary  Committees,  their  collection  has  be- 
come all  but  impracticable,  and  there  was  every  prospect,  unless  measures  were  taken 
foi  their  preservation,  that  some  of  them  would  be  entirely  lost.  In  view  of  prevent- 
ing such  an  undesirable  contingency,  I  suggested  to  his  Lordship  the  desirableness  of 
his  allowing  them  to  be  collected  and  tinted /or  distribution  among  his  friends  :  and 
to  this  he  was  good  enough  to  consent.*— McCulloch.

***  «  The  Speeches  of  Sir  Robert  Peel,  as  delivered  in  the  House  of  Commons,

this  distinguished  orator's  parliamentary  career,  and  the  political  mirror  of  the  event- 
ful age  in  which  he  lived.  During  a  period  of  forty  years  he  was  the  moving  spirit  of 
every  important  public  measure ;  and  perhaps  no  statesman  of  ancient  or  modern 
times  ever  possessed  a  more  commanding  sway  over  the  minds  of  men.» — Preface.

♦^*  «  Of  the  value  of  the  services  rendered  by  Mr.  Ricardo  to  Political  Economy, 
there  can  be,  among  intelligent  men,  only  one  opinion.  His  works  have  made  a  very 
great  addition  to  the  mass  of  useful  and  universally  interesting  truths,  and  afford  some 
of  the  finest  examples  to  be  met  with  of  discriminating  analysis,  and  of  profound  and 
and  refined  discussion.*— McCulloch.

***  «This  work  was  written  at  the  request  of  Alexander,  Emperor  of  Russia, 
for  the  instruction  of  his  brothers,  the  Grand  Dukes  Nicholas  and  Michael.  It  con- 
tains various  Disquisitions  on  important  subjects,  some  of  which  have  received  but 
little  attention  from  the  English  and  French  economists.  Among  others,  the  account 
of  5"/az/«'ry  in  Ancient  Rome  and  in  modern  Europe,  particularly  Russia,  and  of  the 
Paper  Money  of  the  different  Continental  States,  are  extremely  interesting  and  valuable. 
We  said  of  this  work  about  twenty  years  ago,  that  «  without  the  remotest  intention  of 
depreciating  the  labours  of  others,  we  conceive  we  are  fully  warranted  in  placing  it 
at  the  head  of  all  the  works  on  Political  Economy  ever  imported  from  the  Continent

Most  copies  of  Vols,  v  and  vi  were  destroyed  by  fire. 

Priced  £45  in  a  recent  catalogue  of  an  English  bookseller. 

4  This  work  embodies  a  great  mass  of  information  with  respect  to  the  prices  of 
most  articles,  and  the  commercial  and  pecuniary  history  of  the  empire  during  an  event- 
ful period  of  over  half  a  century.  Mr.  Tooke's  great  experience  as  a  merchant,  and 
his  intimate  acquaintance  with  the  principles  of  Economical  Science,  have  enabled 
him  to  disentangle  and  clear  up  some  very  complicated  phenomena,  and  to  throw  a 
great  deal  of  light  on  most  of  the  subjects  within  the  range  of  his  inquiries.  It  is  a 
standard  work ;  and  is  valuable  alike  to  practical  and  speculative  inquirers.* — 
McCulloch. 

4  All  Economists  profess  that  the  illustration  oi  facts  is  quite  as  important  in  the 
method  of  their  science  as  the  discussion  or  elucidation  of  principles.  In  my  opinion 
it  is  even  more  important,  because  these  facts  form  the  basis  for  economical  induc- 
tions. Very  few  authors,  however,  have  combined  exact  reasoning  with  plentiful 
illustration ;  very  few,  however  much  they  have  professed  to  defer  to  experience, 
have  undergone  the  drudgery  of  patient  observation.  Adam  Smith,  and  Tooke  are 
eminent  exceptions.* — J.  A.  Thorold  Rogers.
